Electrolyte Tablets WITH calories?

[CopperCyclist]

Anyone know of any electrolyte tablets that have a high calorie content? All of the ones I can find boast that they hae zero or very low (1-2) calories.

I was looking for a tablet that would give me a lucozade style drink - a quick sugar boost with electrolytes as well to replace the ones lost though sweat. Does such a thing exist - is there a reason why they don't?

I know there are alternatives such as gels, or actually buying the bottles of lucosade/poweraid, but in price per bottle, tablets are so much cheaper, and if there was a glucose/electrolyte mix out there, I'd like to know!

I use Nuun tabs and if required chuck a couple of Dextrosol tabs in the bottle as well. Dextosols are really overlooked as a convenient light easy to consume energy source. Stuff gels.

I tend to use the High 5 Zero tabs, with added Maltodextrin (from myprotein.co.uk) and Glucose (from Holland & Barret)

You can buy big tubs of energy drink powder which are not cheap, but it is cheaper than buying individual sachets/bottles of the stuff.

I hadn't thought of adding separate glucose tabs - will probably do that!

Caster sugar works pretty well for me
